NoLA Rising Paint Party
Sat May 10 11am – 6pm
(Timezone: Central Time)
2833 Dauphine in the Marigny at corner of Press Street
NoLA Rising presents it’s fourth ever PAINT PARTY. In association with the St. Claude Arts District, we’ll be out in the Marigny at 2833 Dauphine on Saturday, May 10th, 2008 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. painting our happy little booties off. (Allright!)

Afterwards, while some of us scruffy, paint people clean up, there will be a cocktail viewing of the pieces made that day from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at XO STUDIOS… conveniently next door to the park. Ranger Dave is making sure there will be other events surrounding the studio for those too timid to paint and would prefer to art watch. Afterwards, go out into the St. Claude Art world and enjoy the blossoming art scene at so many of the other nearby galleries, for more information, go to http://www.scadnola.com.

Well. I am bummed. Can’t make the Twitter fun because I. have. to. work.
Can’t make the paint party because I’ll be out of town. Dayum.
